A really deep conversation I had on Meebo

[Blue]

Well you really can't blame him... Honestly look at all the USA has done to Muslim's over the years. It is a wonder they didn't start fighting us until 9/11.

1. As one of the founding nations of the UN we gave Israel to the victims of the Holocaust without giving a second thought to Palestine.
2. We have always taken Israel's side in wars they have had over Palestine... They just want their land back and they are justified in it.
3. Now we invade 2 predominantly Muslim countries and set up our own government, but I have yet to hear of Muslims being happy about it... Maybe Afghanistan but not Iraq.
4. American's in the USA seem to be afraid of Muslim's... Quite a few people, especially young people, seem to think that all Muslim's are terrorists.

Earlier in the conversation he said something to me that someone told him that not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims... I don't know where this person is from that he was talking about but it is safe to assume it was India. India is a big ally of ours so their press probably puts the same spin on the war as our's, not to mention the conflict that has been going on over Kashmir for years with Pakistan.

If you don't see why so many Muslims are afraid of the world currently you are blind. Most of them want peace not the ongoing conflicts they seem to be involved in. Every one of them I have talked to don't seem anything like the "terrorists" you are always hearing about. "Terrorists" are a minority that give them a bad name.

I just think it is sad that he actually told me he was afraid of coming to the USA after he got out of college. Noone should be afraid, but it is obvious that he will be profiled against and stereotyped by everyone here because of the war that has given everyone a "view" on Islam.

Let's say you are right for a second on how bad America is. You talked about how the press is putting a spin on the war? If they are, its for the anti-war peoples advantage, cause all I hear is a bunch of people complaining that we're still in Iraq or whatever trying to help the people set up a government for a gain in some area for them. I won't try to know whats going on, cause I hardly pay attention to this shit, I live for the moment, but I can tell you that half the stuff I hear in the news is BS.

Besides, I thought there was a certain terrorist group that Americans where going after. That were potentially all muslims. Isnt there a certain group that reside in that certain area?

And you/her saying anyone would not be welcome is BS, my High School is the most diverse high school there is, I've been getting people from Tajikistan and other places and instantly being welcomed and made friends right away.
